The president leaves for a trip to Asia on Sunday, with stops in China, Burma and an economic summit in Australia. We preview the economic objectives of the trip, and ask to what degree it signals a shift to international priorities. Plus, New York Comptroller Scott Stringer is teaming up with institutional investors to lobby 75 companies to allow shareholders to nominate directors for election to their boards. This is a bold move to make boards more accountable, and it’s supported by some heavyweight investors.
